pe-llozzle, of which the following 2s description.

nd erect tron relates to hose nozzles, and

ly suen nozzles as can be adept- .ng trees, plants, shrubbery and vset forth in the claims.

valve 7 of substantiall :at its ioivierd end one conic;

smaller teferenee is to be ned to the accompanytion in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures in which Figure l is e longitudinal view of the nozzle showingin dotted lines the spray cap thrown to on inoperative position; Fig. 2 is e longitudinal sectional view of the nozzle;

an end view oft-lie nozzle showing in re positions, in full and dotted lines re 7 the means employed for regulat of water through the nozzle; an end view of the nozzle with the cap in position; and Fig. is s top rowing in detail means for securing the spray in an operative or inoperative position.

The nozzle 1 is preferebly tlirezdedly connected to any suitable out-oil cock 2, that shown consisting of an expanded body 3 having plug valve 4. The nozzle is e tapering tubular body oval in c oss sect/"e1 as shown in Fig. 3 and is provided at its out? and end with spray cap 5 vrilicn is mounted upon a bracket 6 so that it may be moved away 'lrom the ottlrc'nozzle to an inoper. e position. This spray valve 5 e; sinuous opening 11, through which the water passes to become spray. fin

semi-o on drawings forming at port of this specifics riveted or otherwise affixed to the rear end of v the nozzle is operated by a thumbscrew 8 which when moved inwardly depresses the forward end of said valve as indicated in dotted outline in Fig. 3 and thus decreases the volume of water which may pass through the nozzle and the cap. An arm 9, having a locking member 10 for securing the arm and spraying cap in position, is mounted upon the spray valve in any suitable manner as for instance, as is shown in Fig. 1. I

The spring valve ,7 compr ses a plate shaped to conform with the inner wall of the nozzle andsecured thereto, the said plate be-' ing cut away towards its front and shaped to conform and fit the inner wall of the nozzle, the said plate being substantiallysemicircular in form, so that when it is de ressed by the screw A, it will mo've downwar as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, thus partially closing the nozzle. v v

I do not limit myself to the particulareonstruction shown as it may be altered within reasonable limits without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I cl aim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent: v

1. A nozzle-elliptical in'cross section, a spring valve comprising a plate shaped to conform to the inner wall 01' the nozzle and secured thereto, said plate being, cut sway toward the free end thereof to substantiallv a semicircular cross section, and. a screw threaded tlirou h the nozzle and engaging the outer face 0 the plate, whereby to move said plate to restrict the passage of liquid throu h the nozzle.

.2. he combination with'a nozzle, of e spraying ca .having an opening theretlirough and pivotet to the end of the nozzle, an erm' rigid with the cap and a locking meniber pivoted to the arm and adapted to engage opposite faces of the nozzle, whereby to lock said cap in open or closed position. Y

, in testimony whereof I have signed my name to this vspecification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
